HATCH CHILE: 2021 Harvest in Hatch, New Mexico/Chile Capital of the World/Red or Green/Ristra Making

If you've been following ‪@marcyinspired1442‬, you know that many of my recipes include Hatch chile. That's because I'm a native New Mexican and chile is a staple in our diets. Depending on where you live, you may have seen the label, "Hatch chile." Hatch is a tiny farming community in southern New Mexico, about 40 miles northwest of Las Cruces, that is known for having the most flavorful chile. In fact, it's called the Chile Capital of the World. Tens of thousands of people make an annual journey to Hatch during the months of August and September because that's peak harvest season. That's when they load up on enough Hatch chile to get them through the year. You can buy it in 40 pound sacks and have it roasted and even peeled on the spot. After that, you just freeze it and use it throughout the year in all your favorite dishes. In this video I take you along as I get my fix.
If you can't make the trip in person, don't worry. You can have Hatch chile delivered to you. I recommend Grajeda Farm's Hatch Chile Market. That's where I get my chile. They don't have a website, but you can find them on Facebook and message or call them with your order. Here's a link:

If you want to plan a trip to Hatch, try going over Labor Day weekend. They host an annual Chile Festival that is a lot of fun. And be sure to stop in at Sparky's and enjoy a green chile cheeseburger while there. www.sparkysburgers.com/

OMG, seeing Sparky's burgs just cranked my hunger. Can''t wait for the festival. People are skeptical of the claims that Hatch chilies are the best - that is, until they actually try them. And if you're lucky enough to be introduced with a visit to Sparky's, there is just no going back.

I first came across hatch peppers a few years ago in Atlanta in my local market. I loved them. Believe it or not I saved all the seeds planning on planting them in GA. I never did. I now today live in Delaware and have a garden. Going through my seeds I found the packet of hatch seeds that I saved. I planted them and right now in my basement, waiting to go out when the weather warms a bit more, are 10 absolutely lovely, healthy looking hatch peppers seedlings! I am beyond excited!

Wow! That is so cool! Glad those seeds survived the move to Delaware and that you were actually able to plant them! I would love to see pictures when you move them outdoors. Try to post them on my FB page or tag me on Instagram, if you're on either of those platforms. In the last few years I've really gotten into gardening, and it's amazing how it changes the way I cook.

@marcyinspired1442 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! I get my chile from Grajeda's pretty much every year, because it's very good. But this was the first time I had it peeled. All I had to do was put it into the ziplock baggies myself, which I did at my mom's house, before driving back home. I don't think I'll have it peeled again, because I think the water being shot into those drums was too powerful and actually compromised the texture of the chile. The stems fell off, and I wasn't able to make any rellenos with them. I think I'll go back to having them roast it, and I'll peel it all by hand, even though it's a lot of work. I have not purchased chile from Pepper Pot, but all the businesses seem comparable in quality and price.

@@marcyinspired1442 Thanks for the info especially on their "water peeling" process. From watching it and seeing the chiles "after" they simply did not have the charred/roasted look and I believe not only the texture but the taste was likely compromised by blasting the skins off BEFORE they were fully charred/roasted and steamed for 30 minutes in the bag.For the past few years I have bought my chiles roasted/peeled and packaged in ziploc bags from Lujan Farms in Dons Ana but theirs were peeled AFTER all roasting BY HAND by a couple of older ladies at the farm stand so the chiles had the right texture and flavor. Unless I can find a substitute this year looks like I will be doing the back-breaking work of peeling a 30 pound sack myself. LOL. Keep up the great videos! Thx

@marcyinspired1442 2 жыл бұрын

It just depends on what kind you get. Hot, Medium, or Mild. Farmers know the difference and not only plant it accordingly, but sort it once harvested. Generally speaking, the more narrow and pointy the pepper, the hotter it tends to be. You can also take away some of the heat by removing all the seeds and veins. As for the heartburn issue, have you tried apple cider vinegar? I started taking it regularly a few years ago, and it's made all the difference for me. But definitely read up on it, first. Don't want anyone to think I'm giving medical advice. Lol
